My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Cheap land for 'going green'?

17 years ago

I am interested in buying land on which to build a small cabin and hunt/trap/grow food. It would need to be near a stream/river to maintain the hydro-electric system, so I was looking at Minnesota or Western/Northern New York. Any other suggestions?
